Markees Watts: Breaking News

Lands on reserve/retired list

The Browns placed Watts (undisclosed) on the reserve/retired list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Watts is retiring despite having just signed with the Browns earlier this year. The 26-year-old finished his career with 13 tackles (six solo), including 1.5 sacks, across 22 games, all with the Buccaneers.

Active for SNF

Watts (hand) is active for Sunday night's game against the Rams. Watts hasn't played since Week 8 but will make his return to the lineup Sunday night. The 25-year-old linebacker has logged just 15 snaps on defense this season but has been a big contributor on special teams for Tampa Bay. Watts has produced six tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, across eight appearances.

Chance to play Week 12

Watts (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Watts drew the questionable tag for Sunday despite being a full participant in practice all week, and he has a chance to return from a two-game absence. He has mostly served on special teams this season, but he also saw some rotational snaps at outside linebacker prior to his injury.
